DFW Restaurant Week is Here — How to Make the Most of This Supersized Foodie Holiday

It's a Good Time to Eat Well

BY // 08.04.21

For North Texas foodies, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. The 2021 version of DFW Restaurant Week begins this Friday, August 6, kicking off one glorious month of dining that lasts right through September 5. With three course prix fixe dinners for either $39 or $49 standard, and select restaurants even offering special two course lunches for just $19 ― it may be time to lock in your reservations.

Twenty-three of Tarrant County’s best restaurants are participating. Each participating restaurant will donate 20 percent to Fort Worth nonprofit Lena Pope, which works to improve the behavioral and mental health of hundreds of local kids and their families. With more than $2.3 million raised since 1998, DFW Restaurant Week is one of Lena Pope’s largest annual fundraisers.

Here is rundown of the Tarrant County restaurants participating in this year’s DFW Restaurant Week, along with a preview of a few of the more interesting menus. Check the websites of your favorite restaurants, or commit to getting out of your bubble and trying something new this year.

“Supporting this year’s DFW Restaurant Week is especially important due to the ever-increasing number of local children struggling with anxiety and depression as a result of the pandemic,” says Dr. Ashley Elgin, Lena Pope’s CEO. “The more funds we raise from DFW Restaurant Week, the more local families we can help with our mental and behavioral health interventions and counseling/therapy.”

DFW Restaurant Week is one of North Texas’ largest and most beloved foodie events. Over the past 24 years, DFW Restaurant Week has raised more than $10 million in donations for its charity partners. It’s a delicious way to support the work of Lena Pope and local restaurants.

“We hope our local residents will see this as an opportunity to give back and open their hearts and wallets to support these benevolent Tarrant County restaurants and our hundreds of local families in-need,” Elgin says.

You’ll also eat well at a discount. Very well.
